What I didn’t like was sitting in dining room and hearing staff mention about kids left unattended to serve while parents sit, and then one of the staff says out loud “people think this is a buffet and it isn’t”. I was the only person sitting in dining room at the time. I just got up threw my stuff in garbage and walked to my room.

Nice, clean hotel with friendly staff. The only issue we encountered was with the ironing board. It was not in good condition and kept collapsing when any pressure was applied to the board. Reported to Santiago upon check out. Also, Santiago was very nice and pleasant during the check-in process.

Nice property hood adjacent

The property is surrounded by a less desirable area. Do not plan to travel here by public transportation. That being said, the property itself was quite nice. Looks like a newer hotel surrounded by older less nice area. The property had a decent fitness center and a continental breakfast. Breakfast had the typical. Boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, pancake area, toast, bagels, peanut butter and jam. Juices were OJ, Cran, Apple and water. Coffee and tea was available. Cereal as well. Room was really nice and the pool was decent. Outside area was nice and neat. The stay was nice just area was not great.

We arrived 6 hours late due to flight delays from a storm. I called ahead to state we would arrive late and the staff were very accommodating and noted our delayed arrival for the next staff coming on duty. Greeted with a warm smile when we finally arrived. They also provided free transportation to our ship the next morning. 😀👍
